How do you fit a new toilet seat to a close coupled toilet which has only two holes in the top and no access from the side or back?
If you are talking about the standard seats they should all be the same length apart for seat replacement. I haven't run into any yet that haven't been. You just need to undo the bolt assembly; the nut is underneath where the two holes are, just hold the nut in place with pliers or channel locks while you unscrew the bolt. Hopefully you won't have a rusting problem like we did in the teenage male bathroom; their aim was off and caused a real mess when the seat needed to be changed out. (gross, I know.) Sometimes the bolts are extra long and might need to be trimmed off with a hacksaw (or even a boltcutter, which would be faster,) after installation. Unless you don't mind the extra bolt length hanging down. This happens a lot when a toilet needs to be changed out, too, the bolts tend to be extra long so you have to cut off the excess so they aren't sticking out of the bottom of the toilet and you can fit the caps on over the bolts for a neater look. But better for them to be too long than too short, right? I hope this helps out and that I understood your question correctly so you will have the answer you need. If not, just let me know. I noticed your question on here a few days ago and since no one stepped up to the plate to give an answer, I decided to try and help you out. I'm sure that others will be adding additional info now that the question has been answered, always that way here, isn't it? Good luck!
